Hi I ve been looking for a big bait reel to pull cowgirls and big crankbaits. I was wondering what some of you guys are using and working. If you could give me some tips towards reels it would be much appreciated. I have a budget of up to 130 dollars.
Thanks Guys

Location: Iowa Great Lakes		Okuma Induron comes to mind within that budget. I'm trying out a Revo toro for blades this year.

Location: Yahara River Chain		Okuma Induron with a power handle. Used one all last season - no issues and a great reel for the money.

Hey muskie nut, Was it pretty easy to reel with those big blades on? Did it seem like you were killing the reel?

$60???!!! That must have been the IDX250, not the 400, right?

Location: Moline,IL		I've seen some 400s brand new go for $50-$60 on Ebay. These are auctions of course and not "Buy It Nows".
